Our friend had us cat-sit for a couple months while she lived in a yurt in New Hampshire finishing up her dissertation.

In November, his regular vet saw him and I mentioned he had bad breath. She took a look in his mouth and told us he very likely had oral squamous cell carcinoma—a rapidly growing destructive cancer–and that there was nothing we could do. A month later and he still seemed about the same, so we took him to the dentist and they said he probably just has a rotten tooth! 2025-01-22T16:34:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrl99ntmrs6rkwmaxep8d8wk3hmsxgc8umxv5anj2wdqpcnndxsuczyrecl5wj7am5pnzdalwzypjxd57hpd9alkzuxevxxyfp8s6vkggwza2l7nf This elderly baby is off to a veterinary dentist this morning for a high risk tooth extraction.
